All Japanese/Chinese I'm afraid.
Anybody who wants one, talk to your local Motorola salesman and convince them to release in the west.
I don't want something that asks me if I really really want to flame someone. When I flame someone, I damned well mean to flame them.
What would be handy though would be some sort of profanity grammar checker or thesaurus. Something that checks the profanities that you use and suggests better ones. I always find that I think of better stuff after the fact.

Scripts that'll only work on 4, scripts that'll only work on 5.001, scripts that'll only work on 5.003 and all of the required versions installed on the same box at the same time.
Sure the script developers should upgrade their scripts but do they hell.
Well, call my cynical but this appears to be a way for Intel to sell more DSP chips.
FireWire is here, now, faster than USB 2, installed on all Macs, just about all Digital Video cameras and many scanners, hard drives, CD roms, zip drives, printers etc.
The really nice thing about USB was that it's really cheap, perfect for cheap peripherals that don't need high bandwidth like mice, keyboards, webcams, cheap scanners etc. FireWire is nice because it's high performance but (was) more expensive.
Now Intel are trying to make USB high performance but FireWire (an IEEE standard) is already there. The only possible reason for this that I can think of is to control the standard and try sell everyone their own DSP chips.
You become enlightened grasshopper.

Yup, using the spammers srength against them - Spamido. Static filtering ain't going to work.
I think I'd have the client check a few different searches and block anything that appears in all of them. Pass the information about the spammers to other clients as well maybe to make it more effective?
The spammers have to reveal themselves in some way

There's always some inherent weakness, for example, with email spam they have to harvest mail addresses in some way to build a mailing list to send spam.
The addresses they harvest can be poisoned using a
spamido technique
so that they waste their time sending spam to/dev/null all over the internet. A waste of my bandwidth, but not my time.
It's the spammers underlying weakness that should be exploited. A spammers strength and weakness are the same thing grasshopper.
I don't know anything about Gnutella but I'll bet that there are certain characteristics that can be used to make spam a waste of time.
If you don't know what you are doing then you shouldn't be touching. 80% of support desk calls are caused by idiots changing settings that they shouldn't be.
What happens is that innovative new technologies are invented in the UK, fail miserably because the financiers couldn't tell a good idea if it was rammed up their arse sideways.
The Japs grab the idea with both hands and run with it, make a fortune.
Progressive European countries import idea and technology from Japan to Europe.
The UK is dragged into the new technology kicking and screaming that the bloody Europeans are trying to take over the world.
The UK inventor dies unknown and penniless with enormous debts which cause his family to be cast into the streets and have his house reposessed.
Americans re-invent the technology but make it incompatible. Claim they invented it first.
Hand out exclusive land grants on Mars and the Moon to the 1st private individuals who can get there. Give exclusive mining rights to people who can get to an asteroid and stake a claim.
You're dreaming if you think it'll happen any other way.
Every time I go in, there's a little grey error box on the screen but NO keyboard or mouse to click OK. Needless to say the thing doesn't work.
What idiot designs an embedded system and uses an OS which required a keyboard and mouse? What kind of thought processes does this require? The next question is what kind of moron buys a product like that?
The irony is that this bill does severely damage the future for 'ecommerce' in the UK at a time when the government should be trying to make things easier. It's almost unbelievable.
Rest In Peace the UK IT industry.
P.S. Encryption does you no good. Special branch can come and break down your door, demand the keys and slap you in prison if you don't comply. They can slap you in prison if you tell anyone that you've given them the keys.
1984 here we come. George was prophet. Just got his date wrong by a few years.
My company have already identified alternate countries/locations for their datacentre. Luckily cos I'm Unix bod, I'll still have a job but the NT bods are toast.
I still haven't heard a reasonable explanation as to what the space station is going to do. $20billion so far I've heard and nobody knows what to do with it.
I got stuck in traffic for 2 hours today. 2 hours of my life wasted by a lorry bursting into flames and shedding a load of pigs on to the motorway which caused the police to close the motorway (behind me) while they tried to round them up and divert the traffic down an A road.
Soo. I've decided that I'm going to buy a motorcycle. No more waiting in traffic. 80Mpg fuel efficiency and when I get a larger bike I'll be able to do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds with a top speed of 180mph...:-)

For those 100mph moments.

Seriously. All this 'space is for everybody' and no comerciallisation of space stuff has held everything back hugely.
Start selling excusive land rights and mining rights and you'll see a massive takeoff.
Common misconception.
It isn't the best technology that survives in the US. It's the best marketed technology which survives in the US.

You didn't even get past the second sentence. Tut tut.

Is this new? Sounds like a light bulb to me.
So you add multiple data files. It's really no big deal.
It's handy to use smaller data files anyway. It can be useful for load balancing.
